Armed officers guarded the area and began to collect evidence. A car on Litchfield Lane, an alley, appeared to be covered in blood.

The victim's identity is being withheld pending notification of family.

An autopsy will be completed Monday.

The Manchester Police Department has identified all the involved parties in the shooting and is actively investigating the incident, including a potential self-defense claim.

"Part of the investigation is whether or not there is a filed self-device claim in this case," said Jeffery Strelzin, Senior Asst. Attorney General.

One witness, who did not want to be identified, told News 9 that many people started to run away after they heard gunshots.

"It's scary, but we had a bunch of us here. You just stick with each other and be observant," the witness told News 9.

"The parties who were involved did know each other, so it's not a random incident. We certainly always caution people whenever there is a homicide in the area that they should take that into account when they go about their daily lives, but we have no specific information that leads us to believe that the general public as at risk," said Strelzin.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Manchester Police Department at 603-668-8711 and ask for Detectives or call Manchester Crimeline at 603-624-4040.
